Hello Ron If your 3x great Grandfather was born in Northern Ireland do you know where a bouts? It's possible that his Scottish family originated from Lanarkshire or Ayrshire. Possibly his father was William going by his and his first son's name but that's only a guess. Many Hamiltons settled in County Down Do you have a date of birth for John William and I'll see if I can find anything out for you? ----- Original Message ----- From: <VistaRon96@aol.com> To: <Scotch-Irish-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, December 06, 2005 4:21 AM Subject: [Sc-Ir] Ship Passenger List > Greetings, Just discovered my G-G-Grandfather, John (William) HAMILTON, > emigrated from Northern Ireland.
